Pet Bestiary

Pets are yet another way to develop your character in the world of Azeroth. Hunters and Warlocks are able to capture or summon companions to share their journeys and even assist in battle ("combat pets"). For everyone else, options for combat pets are limited, but everyone can benefit from non-combat pets! From the gnome rogue who wants a chicken to the orc hunter who wants a worg pup to match his mount and combat pet, non-combat pets make your character more individual for the cost of an item slot. Many of the pets have an additional (randomly performed) animated behavior, just to add even more character (as an example, all cat pets will occasionally stretch).

So where can you get yourself a wonderful and low maintenance companion?

Purchased Pets

Some pets may be purchased from vendors. These are generally Bind on Equip, and so may be sold or traded. This is especially important because most of the vendors are faction-specific. For an Alliance character to have a cockroach for a pet requires a Horde character to buy it in the Undercity and sell it via the neutral auction house. The AH will also be the only way for a character who doesn't have the Burning Crusade expansion to gain the vendor pets from the draenei or blood elves. Also, some of the pets are limited supply items, which means that the vendor will have a set number (usually one) for sale; if someone else has already bought your desired pet, you will need to wait for the vendor to restock (usually 10-15 minutes).

Quest Pets

Some pets are earned by questing for them. Some of these are limited to a particular faction. These are usually Bind on Pickup, so if you earn one, it's yours to keep. Some of these are available only during a particular season.

Normal Quests
	Prarie Chicken [1] Cluck! (Chicken) This quest is obtained by spamming "/chicken" at a chicken, obtaining Saldean's Special Chicken Feed (Alliance vendor, Westfall, north of Sentinel Hill), hailing a chicken with a /cheer, then completing the quest. The egg dropped when the quest completes is generally lootable, so a Horde character can loot it if an Alliance character completes the quest for them.		Sprite Darter [48] Becoming a Parent (Agnar Beastamer, Aerie Peak, The Hinterlands) This is the end of a chain that begins with the Freedom for All Creatures quest given by Kindal Moonweaver southwest of the Grimtotem camp in Feralas.

	Worg Pup [59d] Kibler's Exotic Pets (Kibler, Burning Steppes) This quest has you venture into LBRS to retrieve a Bloodaxe Worg Pup from the room with Halcyon. A walkthrough to stealth both the LBRS quests was posted to the net here.		Blood Parrot [60] Avast Ye, Admiral (Fleet Master Firallon, Stranglethorn Vale) Note that this quest requires gaining Friendly standing with the Bloodsail Buccaneers, usually severely impacting Booty Bay faction. The quest reward is a Bloodsail Admiral's Hat which allows you to summon the parrot.
	Jubling [1] Spawn of Jub Jub (Morja, Darkmoon Faire) Jubling is a small brightly colored frog who has run away from his orcish keeper. You will need 2+ (5 is typical) Dark Iron Ale mugs either retrieved from the Grim Guzzler in BRD or purchased off the AH.

Seasonal Pets
	Peddlefeet Gift of Adoration (various NPCs) During the Love is in the Air seasonal event, you could give tokens of regard to city NPCs to gain Gifts of Adoration.

Spirit of Summer [60d] A Light in Dark Places (Festival Flamekeeper) During the Midsummer Flame Festival seasonal event, you could seek out bonfires in Scarlet Stratholme, Scholomance, Lower Blackrock Spire, and Dire Maul North to earn a Captured Flame, which summoned this red wisp pet.

Sinister Squashling Drop from Headless Horseman (70+) During Hallows End, the Headless Horseman can be raised in the Scarlet Monastery Graveyard and has a chance to drop one of these when defeated.
Children's Week Pets - A choice of one of these pets (or a pouch of 5g) is the reward for completing the seasonal Children's Week quests. They are all Bind on Pickup.

Each character will find four to six gifts under the tree, two of which contain vanity pets. L10 or higher is required to get the Clockwork Rocket Bot which is Bind on Pickup. L20 or higher is required to get the other Winter Veil pets; the Gaily Wrapped Present will contain a random selection from four pets. These other pets are Bind on Use and require a snowball to activate; snowballs can be found in holiday snow banks or purchased from the Smokywood Pastures vendors in Orgrimmar or Ironforge during the season. Year-round, engineers with a Snowmaster 9000 device can manufacture (and trade or sell) snowballs (albeit at a very slow rate).

	Tiny Reindeer [20] A Gaily Wrapped Present		Tiny Snowman [20] A Gaily Wrapped Present

Crafted Pets

Engineers can produce both combat and non-combat pets using their ingenious crafting skills. The non-combat ones do not require engineering skills to use, making them unique gifts. For fisherfolk, the Burning Crusade added a new "fishable" vanity pet.

	Mechanical Squirrel (75 Engineering) Dropped schematic		Lil' Smoky (205 Gnome Engineering) Bind on Pickup, schematic obtained (randomly) when renewing membership
	Lifelike Mechanical Toad (265 Engineering) Dropped schematic		Pet Bombling (205 Goblin Engineering) Bind on Pickup, schematic obtained (randomly) when renewing membership

	Magical Crawdad (~430 Fishing) Rarely, when fishing in the high-level fishing holes in Terokkar Forest (requiring aerial access - so this requires a L68 druid or L70 for everyone else), you can fish a Mr. Pinchy, who has 3 charges. Each use can grant a buff, a short duration combat pet, or a Magical Crawdad Box which gives this non-combat pet.

Dropped Pets

If player characters like pets so much, it stands to reason that the NPC mobs do as well. A variety of pets are out there for the looting. These pets are usually Bind on Use. Drop rates provided by Thottbot.

Loot Card Pets

Each booster pack of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game (Upper Deck Entertainment) could include a rare "Loot Card" which has a code for in-game items. Among these items are pets. Loot Card items are designed to be fun but provide no other advantages to your character. See our TCG page for more information.
